kepano/obsidian-skills

Agent skills for Obsidian. Teach your agent to use Obsidian CLI and open formats including Markdown, Bases, JSON Canvas.

What it solves

This project provides a set of specialized tools (skills) that allow AI agents to interact with Obsidian vaults. It bridges the gap between LLM-based agents and Obsidian's specific data formats, enabling them to create and edit content using Obsidian-specific syntax and tools.

How it works

The project implements the Agent Skills specification, making these tools compatible with any agent that supports this standard, such as Claude Code, Codex, and Open Code. It provides a collection of discrete skills that agents can call upon to perform specific tasks within an Obsidian environment.

Who it’s for

Users of Obsidian who use AI agents (like Claude Code) to manage their knowledge base, automate content creation, or develop plugins and themes for Obsidian.

Highlights

  • Obsidian-Specific Syntax: Supports creating and edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown, including wikilinks, callouts, and properties.
  • Data Management: Enables agents to work with Obsidian Bases (.base files) and JSON Canvas files.
  • Integration Tools: Includes skills for interacting with the Obsidian CLI, extracting clean markdown from web pages via Defuddle, and rendering templates using Knap.

    YishenTu/claudian

    Claudian is an Obsidian plugin that embeds multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode, Pi, DeepSeek Harness) into your vault, allowing the model to read/write files, run commands, and manage multi‑step workflows. It offers inline editing, Zen mode, slash‑command skills, @‑mentions, side chats, tabbed sessions, and MCP server integration. Installation is via the Obsidian community plugins store or from source. The plugin sends only your prompts and tool outputs to the chosen provider, with no telemetry. It includes detailed troubleshooting for CLI detection, model discovery, and authentication issues. Licensed under MIT and sponsored by Moonshot AI and BEIKE.

    BuilderIO/skills

    BuilderIO / skills is a plug‑in catalog that adds ready‑made slash‑commands (e.g., `/factory‑collect`, `/visual‑plan`, `/rewind`) to LLM agents. The skills let agents safely read from Slack, GitHub, Sentry, local UI, etc., generate visual plans/recaps, enforce policy‑gated PR workflows, and keep expensive models in the loop only for high‑level judgment. Install via `npx @agent-native/skills@latest add`, then invoke commands inside any supported agent (Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, etc.).
